Indentation After Rhinoplasty. Is It Easy to Fix? (photo)

December 31, 2012
Asked By:mari18

I got an open rhinoplasty 2 weeks ago. Since the first day I noticed a dent in the tip of my nose. The doctor told me if it continues he was going to fix it with a quick nose job with local anesthesia but it could resolves by itself. Do you know cases in which the dents have resolve by itself? Is the fix just a small surgery with a few stitches as he told me? In your experience when is the best time to a revision surgery to fix it? Is 4 months ok?
